Love it here. Foods great. Zaida and Roci took great care of me. Still trying to get the perfect pump. Ill be back!

It was a good experience. If your kids don't play those ticket machine games, your dollar can last. We did a power play combo and $19 and it was worth it! We got $10 for games and an entree was included. I got ribs which was $3.99 more. If you're looking for something for the kids to do and know you will eat afterwards, DO THIS COMBO! Service was great. Everything came out timely, but I got there at 5:30/6 so there wasn't a huge food line. Try to eat early if you do the combo before the rush. The only con I have with this location is the escalator up never works to get to this level. I would recommend taking the elevator knowing that the escalator doesn't work, but it's not a bad walk. read more

Worst experience I've ever had at Dave & Buster's. We waited over an hour just for French fries while guests who arrived after us were served their entire meals before we even received our wings, which took about 25 minutes. Our waiter was inattentive, rarely checked on our table, and never explained why everything was taking so long. To make matters worse, food we had ordered about 40 minutes earlier didn't arrive until we were ready to leave. The service was slow, disorganized, and frustrating from start to finish. I expected much better and won't be coming back. read more

The food was good not complaining about the kitchen. The servers on the other hand were very rude except for one that asked if I needed help Derek was my server everything was fine until...we ordered drinks he told us that the bartender didn't have the watermelon flavor and if we wanted the peach flavor we said yes happily. The bartender nor the server told us there wasnt ice we noticed ourselves they were waiting our appetizers came I got through 2 mozzarella sticks and luckily I had water with me because I could've choked on just the mozzarella itself there was no urgency in either the bartender nor our server Derek I told my wife I should've canceled the order when we got our drinks. We got our food and Derek put everything down firmly...i stayed quiet although I was obviously upset. We then asked for the check after waiting a while for him to show up. He came over and didn't even show us the receipt or the hand held system he told us our total and we paid waiting to leave a tip but he walked away...I then asked for a receipt and he told me "ill be right back" then a server with long curly hair came up to me and asked if he came back I said no and he said "you can wait over there since you're table is over there" I was in disbelief and said alright...and he answered alright. Derek had then come back with the receipt and we noticed that he added his own tip. I had a fun time while playing all the games. The ambiance was very laid back and chill but getting dinner was a nightmare. read more

A great place to bring the kids to play. Their food and drinks are pretty good. There's always some special they got going on for either drinks and or food. It's pretty big inside and the seating and bar is away from the games. The service can be good or terrible. I've experienced both since sometimes they forget about you but other times they are relatively attentive. read more

Dave & Buster's Silver Spring - 10 for 10 wings and Jameson Long Island. - American Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

If you've never been to Dave & Buster's, imagine if a sports bar, a Chuck E. Cheese, and Las Vegas had a baby... then gave it a college degree. That's the vibe. First off--the drinks. Oh, the drinks. I'm pretty sure the slushies here have magical powers because one minute you're sipping away, the next you're convinced you could beat the world record on Skee-Ball. They're colorful, they're tasty, and they're the perfect balance of "refreshing" and "might accidentally text your ex." The food? Shockingly good. Like, actual restaurant good. We're talking burgers that don't taste like they came out of a microwave, wings that actually have flavor, and appetizers that somehow disappear off the plate faster than you can say, "I'll just have one fry." And here's the best part--you can carry your drink around while you play the games. That's right, folks, you can shoot aliens, race cars, and sink basketball shots without ever having to abandon your beverage. It's basically the American Dream in action. The games themselves range from nostalgic classics to high-tech wonders that make you feel like you're living inside an arcade machine. You might walk in saying, "I'll just play a couple games," but next thing you know, you're deeply invested in winning a stuffed banana wearing sunglasses. All in all, Dave & Buster's is that rare place where you can be a grown-up and a kid at the same time--only with better cocktails. Highly recommend for dates, birthdays, or just a random Tuesday when you feel like shooting zombies while sipping a frozen blue drink. read more

We went here on a whim after trying to find a place that was still open nearby for food. Thank you Dave and Busters for feeding us that day. While it was typical bar/American food, it really did hit the spot. It was nice that they have gluten free buns for their burgers. And of course I got in a couple of games of DDR. read more

This Dave & Buster's location had improved from its past which is a great sign! The lady who works at the front was friendly, attentive, and provided great customer service holding my mom's bag at the shelf in the front and offering to put my coat up for a coat check which was free of charge. She helped with the options for the game load cards, since it had been many years since the last time I had came here. It was nice to see a new reservation area and some fresh games. Now some of the games such as the racing games might move a little fast and some like the slot machine and the 4 way pong and Pacman games are not explained the best and can be confusing, while the basketball, skee-ball, and some of the shooter games are a bit more consistent offering amazing, fun, trilling, and exciting gameplay. Other games like the Ghostbusters and the UFC game right in the front are total letdowns. The axe throwing is apart of the fad with ax throwing and thank goodness the axes are plastic but the rubber board is hard to get the plastic axes to stick, but with proper technique it does work. I was excited with some of the new games and some of the old reliable ones in the arcade. DTSS Ellsworth Place had an adorable small independent arcade with Dance Dance Revolution and basketball game in it back in the day on a lower level, so it is great that D&B opened up almost around a decade ago to provide an arcade in a mall that was truly lacking and desperate to be brought back to relevancy. The restaurant food had improved a bit since the last time I was here pre-COVID, and the service was friendly but a bit slow and erratic at times certainly have to pack your patience, that is a running theme with Dave & Busters with the slow restaurant and bar. The place was clean and had hand sanitized wipes and clean tables throughout parts of the arcade which was splendid. Nobody with class and decorum want sticky tables with crumbs and liquid spills on them, so nice with having the tables and games clean and wiped down and floor vacuumed, big kudos! The patrons themselves can be an issue. Security had to inform a father with a kid that the dad let him climb one of the arcade machines standing on it to have the kid get off from the machine. This was dangerous and idiotic. Someone had a dog with a diaper on with a leash roaming around here trying to sniff people. That also was a poor decision even for an emotional support animal, all of the overstimulation and loud noise and tons of kids an adults, it just meant no sense to bring fido to the arcade. Why do people insist bringing these dogs everywhere these days and lack respect for boundaries especially with other human beings. It is if they have more respect for the dogs than the other patrons and not even paying attention and keeping up with the dog going around to other people there. The kids should also not be playing with balls in the actual restaurant/bar. That is the problem with the poor parenting and undisciplined children having a lot out here these days. I want the location to better enforce rules and regulations, however it has improved a great deal from its past which is nice! read more

It's been a minute since I've been to Dave & Buster's, but we came, we ate, we played, and it was a good time! If you've never been to this location before, it might be difficult to find inside the mall, but it's located all the way at the top ~ so keep taking the escalators/elevator up ~ it's located across from the Burlington Coat Factory. We started with dinner (restaurant is located in the back). They had lots of screens going to play the very important NFL playoff games and later aired a UFC fight. After checking in at the hostess desk, we were able to pick our table. Our server was Pedro and he was awesome. He was friendly, approachable, accessible, checked on us multiple times, and he was a good sport about delivering bad news about the menu (several items we initially ordered ended up being unavailable). We were also celebrating a birthday and he was very helpful with coordinating bringing out a surprise candle-lit dessert. Special shout-out to Pedro for putting in so much care and effort to make the birthday girl feel special - he even went as far as letting us secretly choose the color of the candle for the cake! Most of our table ordered burgers for our entrees. The burgers were huge, came with a good serving of nicely seasoned fries, and all were cooked correctly to the desired temperature. Condiments were already set on the table. Our group had several picky eaters, and each entree was prepared accurately with the requested modifications/substitutions - kudos to the kitchen team for their attention to detail! I ordered the mushroom stout burger. It had good flavor but was a bit greasy and quickly turned soggy to hold. This made the burgers messy to eat, but Pedro planned accordingly and handed us a large stack of extra napkins on the table at the start of the meal - which we definitely put to good use! After our meal, we were ready to play! Remember to bring your D&B Power Card (if you already have one), or you'll have to purchase a new one at one of their machines or at the front desk ($3 activation fee + tax). They also have an app where you can download a digital Power Card, track balances, and keep it all handy on your phone. While some of the games (only a few) were out of order, most of the games were functioning, seemed current, and had their necessary accessories available (balls, rings, etc.). They had several tables strategically placed around the games to be able to set your stuff down and get into the game. I do wish there were more hand-sanitizing stations around after all the game-touching, but nothing felt too grimy. Restrooms, on the other hand (located in the corner next to the prize redemption area), weren't quite pristine on a late Saturday evening. To be honest, I was expecting the prizes to be junky (I had Chuck E. Cheese level expectations), but they had good prize selection to take home a fun/cute souvenir. They had plushies of various sizes, an ICEE machine, a karaoke microphone, fleece blankets, LED lights, mystery figurines, even a ceramic ramen bowl (which caught my eye), among other merch that you would find at a store in the mall. You can even redeem your tickets for food (check with the prize counter for redemption details), so pro tip: play first and redeem your winnings for shareables (appetizers), entrees, or desserts after! After all the game playing, we were parched and needed a drink. The hostess desk was able to provide us with complimentary cups of water to quench our thirst. While we waited for our drinks, several employees checked on us to see if we needed assistance. I appreciate their team-oriented approach to make sure customers are taken care of. Every employee that we interacted with had a good energy and showed that they were attentive to customers' needs. This D&B management team is doing something right. Dave & Buster's is open later than the other stores in the mall. If you stay past mall closing, the only way to exit is through the Skywalk, which empties out into Town Square Garage, so be sure to park in that garage for an easy getaway at night. The garages are paid parking ($1.25/hour) via their kiosk or app, Monday - Saturday until 10pm; free on Sundays. read more

Dave & Buster's Silver Spring - Mushroom Stout Burger with fries - American Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

Horrible horrible horrible service today at D&B's Silver Spring location. The server was nowhere to be found and the bartender couldn't execute an Old Fashioned. Would not recommend. read more

I really like this location - to dine in and to play. The food is pretty good. I did have an issue with a server that had an attitude, but I didn't let that ruin my night. Aside from that, the food was pretty good. The games are ok - I think that for me personally, it's a small space so you really can't have that many games. It might also mean that I get bored easily (lol) so it's more me than the location. read more

Son had an event with friends - scheduled for a beautiful day. So D&B wasn't crowded. Games were good - the Martian monster game, air hockey with a surface so smooth it looks like It's Ice. My boy had a great time - bouncing around the room from game to game. Bar area looked like a great place to take in a ball game. Hadn't been to Silver Spring or D&B in years - hope I have a good reason to return read more

We stopped by D&B's so I could have a walk down memory lane, and everything (for the most part) was fine . . . for a 40 something year old. D&B's has a nice array of games. However, I remember more interactive games (e.g. a trivia game) back in the day when I frequented D&B (in another location). I was somewhat disappointed because serval games were not working properly. For instance, you'd pay to play, but the game would not start. That said, game room attendants were very prompt with putting money back on your card with little to no questions asked. I think they kinda know that the there are some issues with the machines. We ordered some small bites (chicken wings, chicken potstickers, and fries), which we thought they were fine for D&B's. While I wouldn't go out of my way to eat at D&B's, I thought the food decent for the location. You know, I'm not going to expect a Michelin type of restaurant at an arcade spot. D&B's does have a nice happy hour special that include a wide assortment of $5 adult beverages. Since we spent most of our time at the bar, I thought our bartenders were pretty decent. While one of the bartenders wasn't super friendly, he was prompt in making our drinks. Overall, I thought this location was very spacious and pretty clean. While I probably will not visit every weekend, I have a feeling that I might drop by 1-2 times a year. read more

I'm a big fan of the clown game. Came here with a $35 card just to play this specific game. Game tokens go a long way on some of the games and will vanish so quickly on others. GLOWS: - A good variety of games GROWS: - it was hard to find someone to load a new card for us. It was difficult to find the front desk with the different entrances -There was a horrible smell coming from the front area. Smelled like possible sewage. -Getting into the building was kind of confusing. Had to take an elevator up several flights and they were broken to come down. -I noticed there is some delay in balls being released on timed games. Its eating up 3+ seconds of game play. read more

I had a great time here for happy hour with the girls! $5 drinks and affordable food! Who can beat it? Aj and Deven was a servers at the bars, or bartenders I should say and they did an amazing job! I loved the vibe, the energy and how they didn't hover over us. Gave us just enough service and time to order while being around for us to order more, at our own discretion. The ambiance was chill; they had enough seats for us to sit in and enjoy the time. So I will definitely be back to play games maybe and for sure, enjoy happy hour drinks! The drinks included: $5 Backwoods Blueberry Lemonade, Tres Tequila Rita, 22 oz domestic drafts, D&B Long Island tea, and glass of wine! That's amazing for $5 happy hour Monday-Friday (4pm-7pm) and Sunday-Thursday 10pm to close ! You can't beat it! Make sure yall ask for AJ and Deven when yall come in! read more

I came to the Dave and busters to enjoy the football on the big screen and get a good meal. I ordered the chicken parmesan meal.and was totally disappointed with the fact that the bartender thought it was acceptable to bring me a plastic fork and plastic knife. I asked to speak to the manager who arrived and was very Kurt and dimissve and rude about me not inquiring with was not give the cutlery. I then said that this not acceptable at a high end establishment. He then reluctantly directed the bartender to get me the proper utensils. I then asked Brad the contact number for the corporate office which he refused to stating that there is not one and walked away. Please respond to my concerns at inshalla227@gmail.com. read more

I ordered food for delivery. The burger was fine but the chicken parm looked nothing like the picture! Even after warming it up it still did not look or taste appetizing. The pasta is just noodles with a bit of butter and cheese and the chicken parm is also missing seasoning. read more

Great Food & Service, But Horrible Family Facility Experience I visited the David & Buster's in Silver Spring, MD and ordered the Stacked Steak Bowl and it was delicious. Great flavor and portion size. The service was also excellent staff were friendly and attentive, which I really appreciated. Unfortunately, the experience was overshadowed by the condition of the family facilities. The family bathroom was locked and completely inaccessible, which made things difficult. Even worse, the baby changing table in the regular restroom was filthy covered in what looked like dried feces and grime. I had to clean it myself with my own wipes just to use it. That's simply unacceptable, especially for a place that caters to families. Good food and service only go so far when basic hygiene standards aren't met. I hope this location addresses these issues soon. read more

I ordered a rib-eye a few weeks ago on a Sunday during football games. Whoever the cook was did a great job with my steak. The bartender handing it to me said "god must love you because I've never seen this look this good" LOL I like my steaks medium and it was cooked perfectly that way. read more

Dave & Buster's Silver Spring - Rib-eye steak - American Near Me - Silver Spring, Maryland

My wife and I attended her friend's wedding in Silver Spring, we had some time to kill between the Mass and the reception, and when our initial plan for how to spend that time fell through, we saw the Dave and Busters sign and decided to go there. This isn't am especially large D&B, but it was big enough to have all of the games we look for. We were able to play air hockey, the Mario Kart arcade game, the free throw shooting game, Buck Hunter, and a few others. We weren't there for food, but drink service at the bar was quick enough. We also ran into the groom's mom there, because she'd taken the children of the family there som that they could be kids in between the church service and reception where they'd have to behave. They seemed to be having a great time. I'm sure they're not perfect, but to paraphrase What About Bob, they're not slackers, they're doin' the work. It's a fun spot for those who like arcade games. read more

Visited on the 1st with 7 kids & 6 adults. Had to wait a while to be seated because of the amount of people but that was to be expected. Wanted to order the Eat & Play combo which is only supposed to be unavailable on Friday & Saturday after 5. That is not true. Arrived at 2:48 and it definitely did not take us that long to order but was told that the combo was not available on the weekends at all. Didn't want to disappoint the kids and the majority of us were from PA so didn't have the time or energy (after being at the zoo all morning) to find another location. Be prepared to pay much more than expected when you go because they obviously do not honor advertised promotions. read more

We came for the games which were fun. I will not return as they were so expensive and they ended really quickly.

Our food was good. The service was great. We had a soccer team there and our waiter did awesome and was very organized. Our food came out quickly and was hot and accurate. The games were fun for the kids. We were bummed there weren't any deals for meals and game card combos, but oh well. The one thing worth mentioning is the location. It's in a mall. If you park at the garage connected to the mall, there's a walkway over to the mall on the 5th floor. read more

Came here to watch NFL games. Service is super slow at the bar and not even many people here. One bar back is either eating food, on her phone and even saw her picking her teeth. Bartender was very slow and took forever for me to cash out. Air quality was so stuffy and a weird damp, sewer-like smell around the bar. Leaky ceiling with water collected by buckets on the floor didn't help. read more

I can't comment on the food but the variety of games for kids is impressive. It's a decent alternative to the Eleanor. Pretty pricey though. read more

7-11-24 came here for date night as many times as I've been to this area I never been in the building so everything was new to me. Simple but colorful, we got game cards and when I tell you wall to wall games it was literally that! They had games arundel didn't, your every turn was some bright lite up games be it racing, bowling, basketball you name it, it was all in here!!.... My asthma was acting up already so I couldn't play as actively as I wanted to but thee games I did I discovered I had a great arm for pitching and a niice Aim for the target center for Axe throwing!! My Bf won several games !!! . There were soo many games! I wondered where was the restaurant and bar! But it's there it's a bit small sectional but it cool it's dark over there but light enough to eat your food lol . The customer service was great the game attendant manager came when the game got stuck and it immediately worked there after we didn't have to wait at all just a few minutes 5 minutes!! Others I've been to drag their feet because they hate their jobs I guess idk. Overall this location was highly enjoyable and very Fun!! Very colorful good for a group of students with disabilities or ppl with them in general far as easy to play and colorful read more

Okay- the staff working here are doing their best with what they're given. Taps don't work at the bar. Buckets that are supposed to light up don't light up. Multiple menu items unavailable. I'm not sure if we should blame Dave and/or Buster, but they are hanging their employees out to dry. read more

Mediocre. I haven't been here in years (maybe more than a decade). I remember it being more fun, with more interactive games and machines. Many machines worked haphazardly. Skee Ball didn't release 9 balls; my friend's game had 3 and I had 1. The machine you push coins through to make them fall off a ledge took my tokens and didn't function. Other games just didn't react to buttons or had delayed reactions. So many kids and teens. Why not take them to Chuck-e-Cheese's? Wasn't D&B meant for adult gaming? Crowded, running around unsupervised or loosely supervised, there were large gaggles of children. There's a large bar and restaurant as well. We didn't eat here but would not rule it out. Buy the Groupon at half off and wait for a 20% coupon and save money! The experience wasn't worth the $18 I spent. read more

I have been to this Dave & Busters a few times. It was a nice addition to have this in my neighborhood as it was my favorite place as a kid. I notice it is much harder to get prizes you want compared to when I was a kid. The food is okay here and has improved each time I went. There are better places to eat in Downtown Silver Spring but I may be back when friends want to come here to eat and/or play games. read more

While only a D&B one would think they had just an iota of care, concern, and cleanliness. Decided to sit at the D&B Sports Bar section to watch College Football Saturday games. Channels froze often for multiple minutes at a time. Avoid this horrible location like the plague. Customer service is non-existent because the particular afternoon I came they were preparing for a huge UFC fight later that night. They were so focused on making money later that they did not give too much care to those of us paying good money right now. Like a swanky downtown restaurant the bar menu did not have prices; calorie count but no prices. The bar was as sticky as the floor in an old adult movie theater from the 1970's. At one point a guy sat at the bar with his two kids (under 10 years old) and he was served food and beer. I thought the kids were buying the first round, but maybe the kid left his credit card at home next to his beer bong and fake ID. One waitress sampled EVERY drink poured for her tables by the bar staff. At first I though she was just trying to distinguish the different beers so she did not mix them up. I actually saw her take a straw-finger taste from a clearly marked bottle of beer. Thank goodness she used a fresh straw every time and just did a straw-finger pipet method taste. They constantly put paper receipts right on top of filled drinks so servers knew what was what. The same principle works when the paper is placed under the cup too. D&B has cameras everywhere they can check the footage from 10/06/2018 at around 5:30-7:00 at the back part of the bar where servers fill drink orders. Just disgusted, disappointed, and frustrated. Solid pass. read more

If you enjoy screaming and cursing while you eat this is the place to be!! Terrible service, mediocre food.

The food was basically average but this is not the place for fine dining experiences. The ambiance involved playing the unique and varied games that's available. D & B is a very unique indoor games carnival. Service was average when we had a children birthday party once. Overall, it's a fun venue. read more

The server here was rude from the beginning. He wouldn't accept an ID which is vertical, which is stupid but luckily I had another ID. Literally the only place that made it such a big deal, not even the ABC store does that. Also, we were planning on not tipping (because the service was bad) but then this arrogant server was like "no tip?" , leaving my friend kinda forced to leave a tip. The worse place ever, what a joke, I would give 0 stars if I could. read more

What a disappointing experience I had here today. I was directed to the restaurant by an arcade worker & I was summarily ignored at the bar by a tall man with a beard fixing a broken cash register. Nobody else was in the area, despite the hours indicating they were open. I had already had a bad experience at Ross one story below and was hungry & hoping for respite. Unfortunately, I was not welcome. Instead, I went across the street to a Colombian arepa restaurant, which was probably for the best anyway. read more
